Question 750

The use of which Snowflake table type will reduce costs when working with ETL workflows?

    Correct Answer: D

    Transient tables are the most cost-effective option for ETL workflows in Snowflake. This is because transient tables do not incur the additional costs associated with fail-safe storage. Transient tables are designed for intermediate data that is not needed for long-term recovery, making them ideal for ETL processes where data is processed and moved quickly. Permanent tables, on the other hand, have higher storage costs due to fail-safe mechanisms, and temporary tables are session-specific and do not persist beyond the session's end.

correct

ahadh7621Option: C

Answer is C: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-temp-transient Snowflake supports creating temporary tables for storing non-permanent, transitory data (e.g. ETL data, session-specific data).

Lematthew31Option: D

It's D, not C. The question tells us about ETL. You are using Transient with ETL not Temporary, and the cost will be be also reduce with Transient

Also Think it's D

PrashantGupta1616Option: D

My understanding is Transient will be the more suitable answer as this table will be used during the ETL operations on the contrary Temp tables are session-oriented and used for temporary purposes although Transient tables reside and are available after ETL ops and as they are not fail-safe and 0-1 day of time-travel so quite economical then Permamanet
